Backup of the console log

[Soller]

A plugin is needed to create a copy of the console log file. This file disappears after each server restart. The data from the logs can help solve some problems, but they are constantly disappearing.
It will be ideal if the entire console log is saved in the sql database on a schedule or at specified intervals.

Especially for Krungh Crow:
There is no way to run programs that create copies of files on the game server. I don't have another server on which to run a program to copy files. I do not have the ability and desire to keep my computer turned on around the clock to create copies of files. And renting another server to create copies of a single file is stupid and wasteful. The task of completely saving console logs should be solved within the framework of a single game server.

Just a suggestion but you could log the console to a discord channel using UltimateRCON+.  It is a discord bot, not a plugin but does log your console for you when set to

I don't see such a plugin anywhere. It is unclear exactly what and how it saves, and where it is.

as i said i have a custom solution that i created for my server ... its not released  . so wanted to here if it will work for you or not ...

Actually, you can add "-logfile logs/$(date +%Y-%m-%d.%H-%M-%S).log" parameter to your server command line (if you have access to do so) and save your console to a new file every time you start/restart the server. Then, unless you delete these log files, they'll stay forever. By the way, I have never had to use this in general because I use RustAdmin for most of my chat/console logs. I only had to look at these saved logs a few times when my server was crashing/freezing, and it is useful to see the raw server logs before it happens (sadly, I can't show the reason for these randomly freezes, but still useful)

I know about these parameters, there is no access to the startup script. The server is controlled by the hosting control panel. Therefore, I ask to create a plugin that replaces this function.

I will never install on my server something that is not posted on a resource without support.

It will be the best solution if the badly restricted host you're using can add this argument to the command line upon your ticket request. Or subscribe to RustAdminOnline and use their 24/7 console logs feature.
